• Find companionship in interacting with animals
• Share feelings and thoughts with a close friend
• Watch your favorite movie

• Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing. Breathe in through your nose to a count of 4, hold for 1 second and then exhale through the mouth to a count of 5. Repeat for one full minute.
• Enjoy a stroll. As you walk, notice your breath and the sights and sounds around you. As thoughts and worries enter your mind, note them, but then return to the present.
• Practice mindful eating. Be aware of taste, textures, and flavors in each bite. Listen to your body when you are hungry and full.
